A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
You're trying to find new ideas in people. I always think to myself, what question I am least comfortable asking the person? And then I make sure I ask it early in the interview.
你试图在人们身上发现新的想法。我总是在想,我问别人最不舒服的问题是什么?然后我会确保在面试的早期就问这个问题。
I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.
我不想通过跳舞来证明什么。我从来没有把它作为一种发泄或表达自己的方式。我只是跳舞。我只是把我的脚放在空中移动。
I look back on my liberal political beliefs with a sort of wonder - as another exercise in self-involvement - rewarding myself for some superiority I could not logically describe.
回顾我的自由主义政治信仰时,我有一种奇怪的感觉——这是另一种自我参与的方式——因为某种我无法从逻辑上描述的优越感而奖励自己。
I will always remember this summer day in Paris, when I was to perform a great acrobatic move. I can still see myself stepping on the ring of a packed circus along real performers.
我将永远记得这个夏天在巴黎的一天,我要表演一个伟大的杂技动作。我仍然能看到自己和真正的演员一起踏上拥挤的马戏团的舞台。
I think of myself as a guy who tries to write screenplays and now has tried to direct one. Anything more than that is meaningless and it gets in the way of being a real human being.
我认为我自己是一个试图写剧本的人,现在又试图导演剧本。任何超过这一点的事情都是没有意义的,它会阻碍你成为一个真正的人。
I think of myself as a writer with a sense of humour rather than a comedy writer. Happy to tell a story with lots of jokes in it - I wouldn't know how to do jokes without the story.
我认为自己是一个有幽默感的作家,而不是一个喜剧作家。很高兴能讲一个有很多笑话的故事——如果没有这个故事,我不知道怎么讲笑话。
I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.
在我成长的过程中,我参加过很多狡猾的乐队,我总是幻想自己在乐队里。但是,你知道,我写音乐很烂。所以也许有一天我会扮演一个摇滚明星,或者朋克摇滚歌手。
I don't listen to music when I write, but I do turn on appropriate music when I read portions of my manuscripts back to myself - kind of like adding a soundtrack to help shape mood.
我写作的时候不听音乐,但当我把部分手稿读给自己听的时候,我确实会打开合适的音乐——就像加一段音乐来帮助塑造心情一样。
I have achieved a lot and I'm grateful for that - I'm just a bit greedy because I want to add the Olympics. It's once every four years - everyone wants it and very few people get it.
我已经取得了很多成绩,对此我很感激——我只是有点贪心,因为我想要加入奥运会。每四年一次——每个人都想要,但很少有人能得到。
Things got so bad that when I went shopping for a house, some people would refuse to open the door if they saw it was me standing there. And drunks would always want to challenge me.
事情变得如此糟糕,当我去买房子的时候,有些人会拒绝打开门,如果他们看到是我站在那里。酒鬼们总是想挑战我。
When I'm up there, and I know the show's coming to a close, in my head I'm saying to myself, Oh man, you gotta get off and be a normal person again. That's what I don't like so much.
当我在上面的时候,我知道节目就要结束了,在我的脑海里,我对自己说,哦,伙计,你必须下车,重新做一个正常人。那就是我不太喜欢的地方。
I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
我自学了如何弹吉他,我自学了如何打鼓,我假装两样都弹。但打鼓对我来说更自然,感觉更好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasn't me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldn't do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.
我第一次化妆的时候,我看着镜子里自己的倒影,而不是我在回头看。它让我可以做我自己不能做的事情。我发现那是多么的强大,对一个演员来说意味着多少。
More and more, it feels like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself.
越来越多的时候,我觉得自己演得很糟糕。
Oddly, when I started to make the record, I wasn't aware I was making a record. I just was sort of disgusted with the whole thing and sequestered myself in the basement and started playing the piano just for something to do.
奇怪的是,当我开始录制唱片时,我并不知道我在录制唱片。我对整件事有点反感,把自己关在地下室里,开始弹钢琴,只是为了找点事做。
I used to beat myself up about weight and working out, and no matter what I did I never felt good about myself. I decided to accept myself and know that I am good.
我曾经因为体重和锻炼而痛打自己,无论我做什么,我从来没有对自己感觉良好。我决定接受自己,我知道我很好。
I really do literally put myself into a character's shoes.
我真的会设身处地地为角色着想。
In any case, Ives encouraged me to go into music even though he himself had such a hard time being a composer.
无论如何,艾夫斯鼓励我进入音乐领域,尽管他自己作为一名作曲家经历了如此艰难的时期。
